What about:
replicate(1000, list(matrix(sample(28), 4,7) ) )
Somebody ( but not me) will probably know the probability that "each matrix has
different elements of each column" once you explain exactly what that phrase
means to you. At the moment its not clear if a permutation of columns makes a
matrix "different".
